Piz Cristallina, Alpine summit in Surselva Region, Switzerland
Piz Cristallina rises to 3,128 meters in elevation between the Swiss cantons of Grisons and Ticino, featuring steep rocky slopes and alpine meadows.
The mountain has been a focal point for Swiss mountaineering expeditions since the early days of Alpine exploration in the nineteenth century.

The Cristallina mountain hut provides overnight accommodation and meals for climbers at 2,397 meters, located northwest of the main summit.
